Use the DNA sequence below to answer the question that follows.
5' AC ATC GA C G C G C G C A 3
What is the complimentary DNA strand that would result
during replication?
O 3' U GUA GCU G C G C G C G U5'
O 3A CA TOGA OG O G C G C A5
O'A CA U CGA C G C G C G C A51
03 TGTAGTG C G C G C G T5

D) 3' TGTAGTGCGCGCGT 5'

Explanation:

DNA strand:   5' ACATCGACGCGCGCA 3'

compliment:  3' TGTAGCTG CGCGCGT 5'

DNA strands are antiparallel which means that if you're given a 3' to 5' strand, the complementary DNA strand will be 5' to 3'. If you are given a 5' to 3' strand, the complementary strand will be from 3' to 5'.

The other thing to remember for DNA complementary strands only is:

- A always pairs with T

- G always pairs with C

(for DNA only) This is one of Chargaff's principles.

If you're asked to find the RNA sequence, A pairs with U. not T! Thymine does not apply to RNA. G still pairs with C though.

the answer to your question is:

c. complementary base-pairing

emerging idea only occurs as a raw idea that could appear out of nowhere. meanwhile, to reach scientific consensus , that idea must be structured and tested over and over again through various experiments. the scientific consensus transforms the raw idea into idea that is more reliable through the process of scientific elimination.
